[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 659257, member: 9031"] I have been reading a bit and every day that I read it reminds of when I did a big block swap in my blazer when I was 20yrs old. Coming from a 305 to a 402. I dropped that thing in using the big block temp sensor because the threads between the 2 cylinder heads were different. Never thought twice about it You said you already verified your gauge and sensor function. I just remember doing exactly what you did. Crank it up, drive around the block and the gauge says 230. I'm freakin out cuz its a brand new build I tried all of the obvious things like you, airflow, air bubbles, t stat change etc.. I ran without a t stat around the block, didn't change. I borrow a laser thermometer from an old man at the parts store, motor was running at 130 degrees the whole time. The temp sensors are different yet look the same. So, only thing you did was re wire the rig. Try to remember not to grasp for straws. Go back to the basics and you'll find your problem. [/QUOTE]
